Fe'ss of workingmen. He was known to be
~ tgmpathy with the Anarchists, and be-
th ZEN Anarchists and worl1ingmen there
ght not to be any sympathy.
.1xf. Powderly is altogether too conserva-
vafor a good many ambitious men who
:, ave succeeded in securing prominence in
..ifferent local assemblies, and a struggle be-
tween them and Mr.. Powderly will have to
come sooner or later Mr. Powderly has
already made concessions to them which
which, perhaps, were not in harmony with
his better Judgment. The concessions, there
Is reason to believe, were made to secure
peace, and to hold the organization together
until wiser counsels could prevail.
If fight is made on Mr.. Powderly it will
be found, doubtless, that he still has the
confidence of the great mass of Knights of
Labor. He undoubtedly wishes to promote
the welfare of workingmen, and he knows
that their best interests viii be served by
preserving peace in all the various branches
of trade and industry. Those who are try
ing to GUST him from his position are more
or less influenced by Socialistic ideas. They
want to upset the established order of things,
though it would puzzle them to state what
they hope to accomplish by their policy.
The Knights of Labor have powerful
organization, but it has placed dangerous
men in not few of its responsible positions.
These men ought to be deposed and their
places filed by workingmen who are willing
to work solely to improve the workingmen's
condition. 1t is not an easy matter, how
ever, to get rid of them because they have
strong friends who are ready at all times to
render them assistance in promoting the OBJ
jects they have in view
If there is fight between Mr.. Powderly
and ambitious local leaders it viii probably
be bitter one, and the Knights all over the
country viii take part in it. If the organi-
cation survives the struggle it will, in all
probability, be stronger than ever, because
it win be definitely understood that the
policy of the winning faction is to prevail
1t certainly cannot continue to prosper with
two policies which are hostile to each other.
The workingman who wants to earn bread
for his family and believes he can do that
best when society is at peace, and trade and
industries are not unsettled by disturbances,
has no sympathy with Socialistic ideas. If
there is a revolt against Mr.. Powderly, the
leaders Of it will be those who sympathize
with such ideas.

A CLERGYMAN DUMBFoUNpED.
Judge Finch's Way OF Answering an
Inquiry When on the Stump.


From the Me,o York Evening Sun.
Judge Alton B. Parker tells good stories.
This is considered his best:
Judge Finch, of Western New York stumped
the State in the Prohibition campaign. At
Syracuse he spoke to a large audience. \
minister, who was a stanch Republican and a
strong temperance man, was present. He stood
it as long as he could, and then asked the
privilege of an inquiry.
Certainly" said Judge Finch, waving MS
hand courteously.
The clergyman mounted the platform, and
the question expanded into q five-minute speech
in which he pronounced the arguments of the
ProhbtioniSts fallaciouS, ending up with the
assertion that the Democrats were paying the
expenses of the Prohibitionst campaign. Judge
Finch listened with the utmost politeness, and
then went calmly on with his argument: After
little he paused and said: II will tell you a
story. clergyman who was an intimate
friend of DR.. Gray paid visit to him at the
Utica Insane Asylum. After collation. the
doctor took him out on the lawn for walk He
found there a number of insane people and ne 9
turned to the doctor and said; Why, doctor, l
should think you would be afraid to so among
all these insane people,
"'Oh, they won't hurt anybody. will show
you one who WILL however, if you don't agree
to everything he says. So you must assent to
every question he asks you
Tapping at the cell door a wild looking
face appeared. Regarding the minister with a
stern gaze, the inmate of the cell said: Are
you aware that two weeks ago Buckingham
Palace was burned to the ground and Queen
Victoria persisted in the flamesf'
THE minister fidgeuted, not wanting to tell an
untrlth, but he caught wink from the doctor,
and at last responded Yes
"'Do you know that two days ago the Knights
of Labor got up a riot in the streets of Roches-
ter and that Jay Gould was taken from the car
Palestine and hanged to a lamp post?
This made the minister squirm, but warn
ing look from DR.. Gray moved him, and he re-
sponded, Yes
THE patient drew himself up to his full
the minister over from head to foot. At last he
broke out fiercely: You say you are minister;
you look like minister; you may be minister,
but you lie like the devil"
Judge Finch resumed his argument after the
audience ceased roaring.

Dissatisfied Coal Miners.

The threatened strike in the coal region of
Pennsylvania will hardly occur. The con-
sentative men among the coal miners do not
believe that a strike at this time would bene-
fit the miners in the least. Their demand
is for an advance of 10 per cent in their
wages. As there are 10000 men employed
in the mines of the six counties which
would be affected by a strike, it will be
seen that the sum at stake is a pretty big
one
The main reason urged against a strike is
that the coal companies would be benefited
rather than injured by it. They have large
stocks of coal on hand and the winter de-
mand is over A strike would cause the
price of coal TO advance. Stocks ON hand
are sufficient to meet any demand for coal
for several months What folly it would
be, therefore, for thousands of miners to
spend nearly the whole summer in idleness
with the prospect of getting small ad-
vance next fall!
A strike would bring great hardships to
the miners and their families. Very few of
them have any surplus money, and they
would soon be in a starving condition
Hundreds of the miners have purchased
their homes on the installment plan, and in
most cases all the installments have not
been paid A strike, therefore, means to
many the loss of their homes.
The coke handlers are still on a strike, but
the chance that they will bring their EN-
ployeS to terms is better than the chance
that the coal miners would get what they
Al.
and pressing demand for coke. Unless the
coke men soon return to work several mills
doubtless viii have to shut down. The coal
miners, if they are wise, win wait until next
winter before striking. Their chances for
success will be much greater then than they
are now

When Queen Kapiolani arrived in Boston

When Queen Kapiolani arrived in Boston
everybody expected that her first exclama-
ton would be: "And this, then, is the lit
-eraly hub of the universe!' Instead, how
ever, she remarked in hor own
musical language: at does me proud to put
foot upon the soil of this beautiful city of
baked beans!" In less than three seconds
after thus unfortunate remark the Queen
was the most unpopular woman that has
visited Boston since the days when witches
made periodical trips on broomsticks be-
tween that city ard the moon.

In New York last Sunday a saloon
keeper who was compelled to close his place
of BUSINESS became so respondent that he
committed suicide. He claimed that the
Sunday closing law destroyed his business.
He ought TO have consoled himself with the
thought that keeping his saloon open six
days in the week had destroyed the business
of many others.

The Temnerance Convention.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is having very successful conven-
ton. 1t is attracting much attention, as it
ought to. Tho Union is doing a good work,
and it ought to be encouraged. Many
charitable and well-meaning people who
syinpathi2e with the temperance cause hold
aloof from it because they do not approve
of women taking so prominent part in
temperance work, or because they cannot
have the selection of the members of it.
The purpose of the Union is the only thing
that ought to be considered, and if that is
good it should be indorsed.
Laws to check intemperance accomplish
little or nothing unless public sentiment
supports them, and the Womnn's Christian
Temperance Union prepares public sehti-
ment for the laws. 1t does moro than that.
1t is powerful agent in influencing people
of incorporate habits TO become sober and
self-respecting citizens.
Georgia is largely prohibition State
The great majority of its counties have
taken advantage of the local option law and
have prohibited the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within their limits. Doubtless the
Woman's Temperance Union has had great
deal TO do with bringing about this condition
of affairs.
The programme Of the convention in this
city is an interesting one and it is being
carried out successfully The effect of the
conventions work may not be Immediately
apparent, but that it will be noticeable in
the near future there is no reason TO doubt
